Contest 1 - The Karaoke Stage

Karaoke, anyone?

We all know about MoonRat's unfortunate karaoke addiction. (The first step is admitting you have a problem, Moonie!)

Contest: What should be MoonRat's "theme" song and why? What song encompasses the loveliness and brilliance and goodness that is MoonRat? Alternately, name a song that you'd LOVE to see MoonRat sing on karaoke night and why.

I nominate "Welcome to the Jungle." Editing is like hacking your way through a jungle at times. So is writing. Publishing is a jungle with lots of bloodthirsty creatures and quicksand and beautiful, poisonous flowers. Plus, some of those lyrics sound pretty funny when a girl sings them. I know. I did it.

Maybe I should think of something more inspirational. oh, oh, what about that Celine Dion/Titanic song?

Except for the, uh, "making love with you was never second best," the lyrics seem to appropriately demonstrate what Moonrat aims for with her blog readers and authors---there's nothing you and I can't do...the future's open wide...I've seen the changes and it's getting better all the time, etc.

I'm picking "Moondance," Colorado Writer!! The reason is because I already know how it goes, which is REALLY important especially if you're going up in front of a small crowd. And it's not in my current rotation, and as Precie theorizes, I could use some mixin' up.

However, tonight I'm going to practice "Muskrat Love" until the RM cries.
